Sql loader issue char to date

Question

Hi
I have a text file like this:
logs~-~189.138.221.234~[19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 +0100]~mujer.orange.es~/mujer.woo/home/home/index.html~mujer.woo~home~home~index.html~Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts; InfoPath.2)~bid=1195493283-1925481236; __em_p=1195493283-1925481236%26bid; GUID=0002D029C7BD07412A7C28F861626364~-~?ord=4939922038660
Im trying to load via sql loader to a table like this:
CREATE TABLE SPY_LOGS_FLOGS
TYPE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
PROXY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
IP VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
DATETIME DATE,
REFERER VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
SPY VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
SPY0 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
SPY1 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
SPY2 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
SPY3 VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
BROWSER VARCHAR2(300 BYTE),
COOKIE VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
UNKNOWN VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
QS VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
Im using a control similar to this:
LOAD DATA
infile '../files/spy_logs_flogs'
append
into table spy_logs_flogs
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '~'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
TYPE char,
PROXY char,
IP char,
DATETIME date 'to_date(:DATETIME,'"["yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss"] +100"')' ,
REFERER char,
SPY char,
SPY0 char,
SPY1 char,
SPY2 char,
SPY3 char,
BROWSER char,
COOKIE char,
UNKNOWN char,
qs char
Im trying to transform the DATETIME field from [19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 +0100] to date 19/10/2007 18:39:53, but have tested with control and cant find the way to do it.
Any help will be appreciate.

Play with
select substr('[19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 +0100]',2,20) the_date
  from dualand if you get 19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 proceed to
select to_date('19/Nov/2007:18:39:53','DD/MON/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')
  from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007:18:39:53','DD/Mon/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')
  from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007 18:39:53','DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
  from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007 18:39:53','DD/Mon/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
  from dualperhaps one of those will work (if it's the one without : then you must replace it with space using substr and || before using to_date)
